Rumor: Tamar Braxton Is A Victim Of Domestic Violence

Vincent Herbert and Tamar Braxton

I read a rumor on the internet stating singer and reality star, Tamar Braxton, who is featured on the show "Braxton Family Values" along with her sister, Grammy Award winner, Toni Braxton, is a victim of domestic violence.

Someone posted claims on Yahoo stating Tamar frequents their business and came in one day with a black eye, hidden by shades, which they attributed to her husband, Lady GaGa producer, Vincent Herbert.

On a separate note, during an episode of "Braxton Family Values" Tamar sarcastically insults her sister, Toni, for turning up late to her party at a restaurant and Herbert is seen hitting her on the right leg, in a manner that shook her up on camera. Therefore, is there truth to the rumors. I hope not.

STORY SOURCE

Is it true that Tamar Braxton husband Vincent Herbert beats her?

Answer: I have heard that as well. I live in Los Angeles and used to work in one of the places that Tamar Braxton visits often (place shall remain nameless because I still have friends that work there). I have seen her come in with a black eye before when she took the big shades off (why the world did she come outside like that being as vain as she is, I will never know).

Also, some of my co-workers actually waited on her another time while she was on the phone with him and heard them arguing and heard her say that she was going to call the cops if he hit her again. After the phone call she was very upset and scared to go home so they actually ended up calling one of her sisters and a friend to come get her. It is obvious that she married this man for his money. I love money too, but I love me much more. Tamar needs to get it together.com. I'm praying for her.

Its really sad to hear this. I was wondering and actually suspected that. She always clams up like a battered woman whenever he walls into a room on the show. Looks like they fight a lot. He is wayyyy bigger than her and im sure that it doesn't tale much to get your point across when your that huge.

Although I DO NOT CONDONE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, I will say that Tamar's mouth probably makes it hard for him not to shut her up.......with any means necessary. She talks too da** much and she not real cute if you ask me. She will probably leave the guy as soon as her short-lived career takes off though.

Toni Braxton

In 2010, Grammy Award winning singer, Toni Braxton, filed for bankruptcy - the second time in a decade. In 2010, Braxton lost her $2,400,000 Las Vegas home to foreclosure. She also gave up her primary residence, a 7 bedroom, 7 bathroom, $1,500,000 Duluth mansion, set in the Sugarloaf Country Club.

Braxton initially fought to keep the attractive, sprawling home. However, her creditors forced foreclosure, but due to the property having negative equity, Braxton was advised not to challenge it. She ended up surrendering the property, in what had to be a very difficult blow.

In the 1990s, LaFace Records, gave Braxton a reported settlement of $20,000,000 as apart of a renegotiation fee on her recording contract, after the bad publicity from her first bankruptcy. Label mates, TLC, were reportedly given the same, as they too had filed bankruptcy.

Braxton's former home in Las Vegas, gone to foreclosure

In 2006, Braxton signed a lucrative Las Vegas performance deal with the Flamingo hotel, but fell ill a year and a half into the multi-million dollar run. This is where her troubles began, as she'd taken on new debts and insurers refused to pay when she became ill, stating she hid her medical condition from them, which is a violation of the performer's policy. Braxton is battling lupus, angina and breast cancer.

It is regrettable that Braxton did not buy a home outright, when she had cash surpluses, rather than obtaining mortgages, as she would not have lost her main residence, which was clearly distressing. She is also older now, 43, with her health problems impacting her appearance. There also exists a pathetic ageism in the vain entertainment industry.

Braxton Family Values

However, with the success of her reality show "Braxton Family Values" that has brought in a moderate amount of money, with residuals and DVD sales to come, will Braxton get back in the black. That depends. Her 2010 bankruptcy filing was filed with debts to luxury retailers and establishments, such as Tiffany's, BMW, Neiman Marcus and the Four Seasons.

Braxton's spending would have to drastically change, in order to rebuild her finances from the ground up and maintain a solid financial profile. Her health is also a factor, which should indicate to her to save up for a rainy day.
